Sherman Himself Converted.

The new South has won another con-
vert in the person of Senator John
Sherman, author of The Bloody
Shirt" Counted Out" "Lo, the
Poor Negro" and other popular works.
Before Mr.. Sherman started on his trip
he read Mr.. Grady's utterances with
a cynical smile. After returning from
the South he condescended to say that
the better element of the whites WAS
disgusted with the action of the pro-
prietor of hotel who refused to admit
negroes to see the Senator, and toh
how he saw a Governor shaking hands
with party of colored men. This is.
indeed, victory. A change has come
over Senator Sherman's spirit, and,
after another visit. one may expect to
see him make a quit-claim deed of his
bloody shirt to Senator Hoar, remodel
his speeches, and go before the coun-
try As the champion of the rights Of

SUBMISSION OF WIVES.
A Social and Domestic Question of Con-
siderable Interest and Importance.

siderable Interest and Importance.
How far this submitting unto ones
own husband should be carried, is a
question for consideration. True it is
that wifely submission is not in much
danger of being carried to excess in this
age of woman's rights; and yet one
sometimes sees an exception in the per-
son of a meek woman, who, partly
through fear, and partly through mis-
taken notion of duty, merges her senti-
ments. her ideas, her very self in her
husband. She loses her own identity,
and becomes simply his echo.
This would be less deplorable than it
is if the husband who thus absorbs her
were always a superior character (for
such women are always weak and would
not amount to much in themselves).
But sad as it is, these oaks to which
such tender vines cling are not always
the strong supports they should be.
When a man is selfish, tyrannical
and dishonest, so much so that he even
finds himself almost without friends,
must his gentle wife, who is capable of
winning friends by ner own lovely
character, renounce every hope of hap
piness. of friendship, of the pleasure of
society, by frowning upon all who dis
agree with him, forsaking ali who dis
approve his meanness, and making
strangers feel that she is as bad as him.
self? lean not think it right tits too
much for one soul to require of another!
Too much in the wrong direction. II
is beautiful to see wife love and seek
to save her husband, all the more as he
becomes sinking sh;p;" but if she
can not save him. if he will deliberately
sink, she is not, believe, required to
sink with him to the extent of wreck
ing her own i;fe. Woman has indi-
viduality of her own, a character Of
her own to maintain just as much as
man. 1t is as valuable to her as her
husbands is to him; and she is fully as
strong to maintain it The best of men
admit that only in q physical sense 10
she s.the weaker SEX" but a mournful
exception is the woman who adds the
folly of allowing herself to become the
echo of a hollow, brazen vessel, to the
mistake of having become his wife,

The Republican Party Want to Get Rid
of Blaine, But Don't Know Exactly
How to DO 1t.
1t looks as if the Republican party
would like very much to have some
body help it let go of Mr.. Blaine. In
1894, it was sure he was the greatest
man of any age or country. 1t COM
pared him with Washington, Lincoln,
Socrates, Plato, and even the Apostle
Paul; and in each case the other sub
iect of the comparison came out Sec
ond best.
But defeat had somewhat .i;sen-
chanting effect The charm was
cracked if not broken. 1t seems
now to be broken. One after
another the most devoted Blainiacs are
seeking some new love. Awhile ago
the faTorite seemed to be Allison.
Now it is Sherman. It is even said
that Whitelaw Reid has written let
ter declaring that Blaine must be
intellectually abandoned. and Sher-
man wholc-heartedly taken up. The
story is confirmed
Shermsn is just the man-for the
nomination. He is rich, like Blaine,
and like Blaine personally interested in
several Of the great corporations which
seek Government favoritism. He is not
magnetic" but he has even more o.
the magnetic metals than Blaine, and
for campaign purposes he has them
better invested. He can work" sew

THE WESTERN NORTH CARROLL
MA BAPTIST
Is not moved from Asheyille i'll
the proper sense. Rev. Joseph E.
Carter, the editor, has resided in
Hendersonville ever since he began
the publication Of his paper in this
place last April. He has been
looking out for the sale Of property
in Hendersonyille and the purchase
of a residence here, since the re-
moval of his paper. This he has
never effected. The United States
P. o. Department advises him that
he can have his paper printed in
Hendersonville and still retain
AsheviIle as his Office Of publica-
tion under certain conditions. This
he has accepted; and as it is so
much more convenient for him,
especially this winter, to have his
printing done where he resides,
he has secured again the service OF
the Messrs. Davis Bros, his old
printers. His paper will be sent
by express from Hendersonville
and mailed here as usual-every
Wednesday night. He requests
us to say that his Asheyille Office
is still on North sidepnblie square
opposite the fire be1l. and that
whenever he is absent from the
city, Mr.. John P. Morgan, at Bre
ward & Blanton's, will receive .anf

The Anniversary celebration OF

will be made the occasion of a grand

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.


A mistaken idea exists with many pa

this rule, and our subscribers must OBJ.
serve it. By doing SO they will enable
US to make better paper, do greater
Justice to the subscriber, and better our
selves.

WESTERN ITEMS.

We gather the following items from
the Murphy Bulletin:
There is not vacant house in Murphy
and it would pay some one to erect q
number of cottages.
The long-looked-for Marietta & North
Georgia Railroad is now completed and
running daily trains to the North Caro-
lima State Line, within thirteen miles of
this place, and sut-grading is being done
on towards Murphy.
Perhaps no point between Charles ton
and Murphs possesses better advantages
for building town than Marble-located,
as 1t Is, in the center of the VallY river
valley, nine miles east of Murphy, and
directly on the survey of the W II G r
r. The American Marble COMPANY, of
Boston, Mass, own a quarry of marble
at that point, and will work the same
just as soon as the railroad reaches it.
In view of these facts Mr. A. B. Smith
has already built store house and is
now erecting nice dwelling and out
buildings.
In speaking of the needs of Murphy,
it is obvious that large hotel is worse
needed than anything else. The magni-
ficent scenery around the town is bound
to make it one Of the most popular of
Southern resorts, and the coming sum-
mer will no doubt bring MANY visitors,
who we hope, can be entertained comfort
ably with our limited accommodations.
But what we want is hotel with sever
al hundred rooms, that all who would
come, might find ample accommoda-
tions.
Cherokee county wants forty thous-
and dollar court house, and park to cor
respond, at Murphy.
We are of the opinion that good apple
orchards in Western North Carolina or
North Georgia, convenient to railroads,
is worth more and is better investment
than orange groves in Florida. This
may sound extravagant to our Florida
friends, but we think the day is. not far
distant when the truth of this assertion
will be realized.

About the Goth of December we
copied a paragraph from another
paper to the effect that after the
first Of January the names of all
subscribers who had not paid would
be published in the delinquent
list, and legal steps taken to collect
the amounts due" We copied the
paragraph simply to show the tenor
of the press in this regard, and to
comment on it as the wrong policy
calculated to recoil on the paper

Usher and to the subscriber; but il
| the publisher transgresses this
rule he is not only to blame but
should be (as he too often is) the
sufferer. We state this because
several of our subscribers, from q
not careful reading Of the article
referred to, took the expressions o
our exchange as our own, and be
came more or less angered at the
threat of being sued.
